16th century Dutch map of Bohemia
ORTELIUS, Abraham.
Regni Bohemiae Descriptio.
Antwerp: Christoph Plantin, 1584, Latin edition. Coloured. 335 x 510mm.
A fine map of Bohemia, based on the 1568 map by Johann Criginger (1521-71). This example has the pagination of the 1584 edition of the Theatrum overwritten with the number of the 1592 edition in old ink mss: the publishers were obviously using up the unused sheets of the earlier edition.
